In honor of last weekend's top box office grosser, I would like to list my top ten action movies featuring cast members of "The Expendables," or, as it turns out, my top ten Stallone/Schwarzenegger/Willis action movies. You will notice that none of the "Rocky" series appears on this list because I don't think they really classify as action movies. They are boxing movies, their own genre.
10. Tango & Cash - great chemistry, genuinely funny moments, a kickass 4x4, and Jack Palance as the bad guy
9. Commando - "Remember when I said I'd kill you last?....I lied."
8. Predator - "Come on, I'm here! Kill me! Do it now!"
7. Cobra - The toothpick, the muscle car, the laser-pointer aiming device...plus a truly scary villain.
6. Rambo: First Blood Part II - Probably didn't invent the "gear-up" sequence, but did it as well as anyone. They even carried it over to the cartoon.
5. Die Hard 2: Die Harder
4. The Running Man - Watch this movie and tell me we are not three years away from this actually happening.
3. Terminator 2: Judgment Day - I don't think this one has aged very well, unfortunately. Edward Furlong's whiny brat John Connor is tough to take.
2. True Lies - Three words: Jamie. Lee. Curtis.
1. Die Hard - "Yippe ki-yay, motherfucker."
